Quick search shows 60.5" for 94-98, 99-04 is wider at 62".

If memory serves, the 94-98 housing is the same width as the Fox body ones, but it has longer axles. 99-04 the housing is wider and axles longer too.

If you were going to swap rear ends I think you will find a disc brake explorer 8.8 will fit better width wise.

Your cougar and a 94 and up mustang have the same bolt pattern. You don't have to swap rear ends just to run the later wheels unless there is a back spacing issue. In that case only careful measurments will tell you if the new axle width and wheel backspacing will work on you cougar.
